Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni file lawsuits over It Ends With Us


Federal action comes hours after film’s director sued New York Times for libel over story about Lively’s accusations

The actor Blake Lively has sued the director of It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni, and several others associated with the film, alleging harassment and a coordinated campaign to attack her reputation for coming forward about her treatment on the set. The plan included a proposal to plant theories on online message boards, engineer a social media campaign and place news stories critical of Lively, the suit alleges. Written by Megan Twohey, Mike McIntire and Julie Tate, the story was published just after Lively filed a legal complaint with the California civil rights department, a predecessor to her federal lawsuit.
